After a short ride Monday I decided I had to fix my squealy brake, so I watched some videos and took a good look at the mechanisms and for the first time in my life I centered hydraulic disk brake calipers. Took me 5 or 6 times to get it right, but when I did they were just perfect.
At St. Tim's I saw a guy with a Trek Travel jersey and told him that I was signed up for the New Zealand package in November. He said he had been on at least three of their deals and was really impressed.
Charlie said he wasn't feeling well enough for a Juniper, so we just did a fast ride to Junction. I did a normal pace until mile 3 when I went hard the rest of the way for a pretty fast time.
At Junction a guy rode up from the North on a Peugeot fixed gear conversion, he was seriously into fixed gears and told us about his setup and his other bikes. He had on the biggest gear I've ever seen on a road fixie. We watched him start up Summit Road with a smooth style and slow cadence covering a lot of ground with every stroke.
